Ok, after far too many days of just not getting anything going, not sitting down in front of the computer because I was exhausted or time simply slipped away, I finally did it. I wrote. A whopping 400 words, but I wrote.
And, I'm admittedly a little bit stuck, but I've been stuck before, so I'm not stressing about it. Mom's death rocked me pretty hard, but I'd say that I'm doing good. After all, Tuesday came and went this week, and I didn't crumple into a soggy mess. And I slept. Hard. Which was wonderful!
So, I'm treating my comparatively tiny word count to the corking of a wine bottle. Tonight, I figuratively took out my favorite bottle of red, dusted it off and peeled back the foil. The cork has been removed and I'll let my writing "breathe" for the night. Hopefully tomorrow evening I can take some time to sit down and enjoy. But for now, I'm just happy that I got something done, progressed the story a hair. And, was pleasantly surprised when one of my characters did something I didn't expect. Which was perfect.
Thank you.
